I posted the other day but maybe it wasn't informative enough, I just really need some advice or a fix.

I bought an Intel D865PERL motherboard with an intel P4 2.8 533FSB processor and two sticks of Centon 256mb DDR434 PC3500 ram

heres the specs:

Here arre the tips Sandra gave me for this board:

Performance Tips
Notice 224 : SMBIOS/DMI information may be inaccurate.
Tip 2511 : Some memory slots are free so the memory can be easily upgraded.
Tip 2546 : Large memory modules should be ECC/Parity.
Tip 2 : Double-click tip or press Enter while a tip is selected for more information about the tip.

As you can see from this picture Sandra is really giving me a low score compared to systems that I should be matching or surpasing.

I just don't think that my ram should be running at 333MHz.

if your pc3500 ddr is running at 333 mhz, then you have a wrong setting in your bios. if you change that setting to your correct speed of 433, the you should be set. you may also have your memory set to a 5:4 ratio, something people with very high fsb's do to get an even higher bus. but at stock, 200 fsb, a 5:4 ratio would be maybe 333 mhz. give that a shot.
 
the motherboard only supports DDR400, so I expect it to reduce the ram to 400. In my Bios it will allow me to select the speed of my ram and I can set it to 400 but then the bios tells me some crap and then sets it to its slowest setting witch is 166 or 133,

My tRAS = 7 CL = 2.5 tRCD = 4 tRP = 4
I haven't tried to change these by themselves without telling the computer that I have 400.
